NEW YORK (AP) - The top U.S. commander in the Middle East said Sunday that Iran is a major player in the region that cannot be ignored but that the United States has no intention of leaving, as Iran would like to see happen.
Adm. William Fallon said the U.S. would continue to maintain a presence in the Middle East, as it has for decades, at the request of other countries in the region.
"We have to figure out a way to come to an arrangement with them," Fallon said about Iran in an interview with The Associated Press.
